Is a dangerous way to get your kicks. Says it to enough people and he is gonna run into a Polish fella at some stage and without meaning to generalise too much but they are well able to handle themselves

You find it strange? Do you go out to pubs and nightclubs ever?
Happens in every town in Ireland. And probably towns in Poland too, everywhere realy.

If you were from another county and this lad knew it you would have been told to go home also.

Just looking for a row

I had this hurled at me on friday night at the night club while i was talking to some friends,some random guy walks over and starts to try his absolute best to start a row before fecking off somewhere else to try again,i dont know if he succeeded i find it sad if this is how some people get their kicks:(

First off, I think its brilliant you used the term 'hurled':)

Secondly, would not cast a second thought to that clown....merely looking for a reaction and fair play for not giving him one (although I would not hold it against you if you did) I would imagine the fact that you are polish was immaterial and he just wanted a fight....complete numbty!!!!

I've often meet knobs like that out, if Your not Polish, you are a culche or insert any other here. Friday and saturdays nights are full of knob heads.

Seriously, the drink problems some people have they'd walk up to a wall and try to argue with it. Dont let it bother you. Just be proud you didint take the bait.

There's always a few of these about the place alright, their anger and rage originates from their own stupidity and ignorance. It's nothing to do with your nationality though.

I've had people in Dublin say it to me to go home to Northern Ireland.

And it is usually the most "fuck the Brits, United Ireland, IRA" types who say it.

It's just someone who'll always find someone to hate.

up for anything

My mother was getting petrol in her usual petrol station a couple of years ago and the young lad behind the counter (new guy) took exception to her slight deafness and fumbling with coins (her fingers are gnarled with arthritis). He muttered, "Go home, you stupid refugee." The manager who was standing close by and heard him told him, "She's more Irish than you are and for longer than you've been alive." The lad didn't work there for too much longer.

OP, did you take acception to being called Polish?

I live in Spain and a lot of people can be racist. Just recently i was called a "****ing Irish".

But it's true, i AM Irish. And i found it funny that this guy thought he could slag me off by pointing out I am from the country of Ireland!

I just laughed at him!

I was in Lidl one day a few years back and there was this rough looking couple that were loading their items on to the conveyor belt at the till. In comes this black African lady who starts putting hers on as well, without realising that the couple in front of her hadn't finished putting theirs on - honest mistake as they were moving bloody slowly. Cue the woman hurling abuse at her telling her to get off, you black bitch and to go back to your own country. The whole exchange went on for about 10 minutes, with "go back to your own country" or some variant being repeated about a dozen times.

The somewhat funny thing is that they had English accents.

You should have provided him with a light beating, nothing too serious... for his own good really.

There's a load of idiots who go out each night looking for a fight. I was walking home around 9pm the other night and overheard a few lads who were obviously heading out to a club;

Idiot: "I'm gonna get into a fight tonight, I can't feel it"

His Friend: "Ah now, don't"

Idiot: "I can't stop it, I just know I'm going to"

Fruitcake.

To be honest OP, drunken morons just shout things out of "divilment" and stupidity. It doesn't matter if you're Polish or whatever. They'll look for someone to have a go at.

I remember I got racial abuse when I was over in Poland.
Ye didn't see me starting a thread about it on the internet!!!

Crockets in Ballina were refusing Poles because of a fight. Believe me there is a lot of prejudice

I suspect he was using Irish as shorthand for drunk, violent, taking our women/apartments etc

I was out in Belfast and was called a "Free State bastard"
I wasn't doing anything wrong, just overheard my bogger midlands accent

Realy OP, if you weren't Polish you would have been called something else. Anything just to get a reaction
